Review:
SME Jobs Connection is a U.S.-based job board that helps employers fill manufacturing vacancies throughout Australia and abroad. The platform boasts an extensive resume database of over 1,300 candidates, giving employers access to a niche pool of talent.
At the time of writing, SME Jobs Connection had over 100 Australian jobs listed on the job board, including engineering specialists and technicians. The platform, however, does not list its pricing in Australian dollars, making it difficult to gauge the site's affordability compared to local competitors.

Cons:

- Employers are charged extra to view resumes.
- The site receives most of its traffic from the U.S., making competitor sites like SEEK better for local hiring.
